    My Topanga Social journey continues! @Mini Kabob
    Lance L.

    Topanga Social Edition: Review of Mini Kabob My goal is to try All 27 of the original Topanga Social Eateries and share my experience with you! -------------------------------------------- Mini Kabob (experienced on July 13th 2023) When it comes to Armenian, Persian or Mediterranean cuisine... One, (Actually 3) things that I know for sure are... 1) There will never be a lack of food (huge portions) 2) There will never be a lack of flavor (Spice, Texture) And... 3) By the end of your meal, You WILL be Stuffed!!! (Of course, in a good way). Last week, Mini Kabob @Topanga Social nailed 1,2 and especially 3 which left me smiling ear to ear. I went with their chicken thigh plate which came with 4 perfectly marinated boneless thighs which were spiced beautifully and absolutely moist. Although the chicken was supposed to be the "star" of the show, I was even more impressed by their rice. The rice was so fluffy, so tasty, so beyond just a "side dish" that my fork would usually pass up a bite of chicken just so I could shovel even more rice into my mouth! The rice was like eating a delicious cloud! And let me tell you, I was on Cloud 9!! On top of that, there was hummus, there was onions, there was a fire roasted tomato, there was a fire roasted jalapeño, there was Lavash bread and of course.... There was a side of garlic sauce! Yes, Normally I can't get this type of food into my mouth fast enough, but on this day, I took my time, I ate slow, and I enjoyed every. single. bite! Mini Kabob also serves up a Falafel Plate, a Beef Shish Kabob Plate, & a beef and chicken thigh plate just in case you don't eat any meat at or chicken thigh alone is just not enough! This is Mini Kabob's 2nd location (the original location is operating in Glendale, CA) by the Martirosyan Family (Mom, Dad & Son Trio) who want to share their passion and a small piece of their Armenian culture with you. So bring your own family and come check out this (literal mom 'n pop) kabob shop and enjoy a "home cooked" meal by the Martirosyan family!

    Beef and Chicken Kabob Plate

    We visited Topanga Social this past weekend as we've read good things about it online. We wanted to try several places (as this was a long drive for us), and one of the places we wanted to try was Mini Kabob, as their original location is highly regarded. My husband and I shared the beef and chicken kabob plate. Our food took a a long time to come out (so just keep that in mind if your party is ordering from different places). It was good, but not really impressively must drive here even if it's far away good. The chicken was more flavorful than the beef. The hummus was plentiful, but just okay (it did taste homemade). I really liked the rice though, it was fluffy and the texture was just right. Service was basically just handing over the tray of food to us, as we just ordered off the tablet. Ambiance was pretty cool though, much better than your regular food court. Super clean as well, the food hall had friendly staff going around, wiping tables and cleaning up.

    Combo Beef and Chicken Plate $25 - Tiny pieces of Meat- doesn't even look close to the one in Glendale.

    What a letdown, I heard so many great things about the food at Mini Kebab in Glendale, and I was so excited they opened one at the Topanga Social. Clearly, it's not the same. I ordered the Mix Combo Plate Beef and Chicken at $25. To be clear, it's not worth a damn bit. Portion is so small that it feels and looks like a kids' plate. The quality of the meat was bad. The three tiny beef pieces were dry and chewy. I ordered it medium, and it came out over cooked. The two tiny chicken breasts were also dry. Are you the same Mini Kebab as in Glendale? Where all my friends raved about how good Mini Kebab is. This location at the Topanga Social seems more money hungry than the quality of their food. I really hope the owner or owners do something about it.

    First time ordering from Mini Kabob. Since this is in the Topanga Social, you'll have to use one of the self check out kiosks to order from multiple restaurants. Decided on Mini Kabob and it had all the "favorites" for a kabob place. For the price, I think it was worth it. It took about 10-13mins for pick up but it was worth it. The meat was perfect and just melted I your mouth. You can take it go or eat in. The place has many tables with Christians walking around asking you to join them for worship. lol

    Beef & Chicken

    Ok, the Topanga Social can be overwhelming with all the dining options but this place is low key excellent and pretty underrated IMHO. Always consistent and delicious. Ordered the chicken and beef kabob combo. Chicken is dark meat (thigh) and you can specify if you want the beef cooked medium or for some reason more well done. It was $25 before tax and tip, but really filling. The garlic sauce is a must. Also enjoy the sides of onions, tomato, and hummus to balance the rice & meat.

    $25 What a Rip.  Only 3 pieces each of chicken and beef
    Matt P.

    This is their 2nd location. The original one is in Glendale in a very small probably 300 sq ft facility. I like that location because Armen's parents work there and his father is just a ham. He will come out of the kitchen and will talk to you while you are waiting for your food. This location at Topanga Social is a lot bigger, but I feel the food is not as great and a bit overpriced for what you get. I ordered their beef & chicken shish and it came out to $25. As you can see from the picture I posted, they only give you 3 pieces of each cut. The beef wasn't that flavorful, but was kind of tender. The chicken was the star here. It had good flavor, juicy and tender. I just wished they gave you more for your money. I like that they give you sliced up raw onions. I feel like it paired well with the protein. The hummus was also good. Overall, the food is good, I just feel that it's a bit expensive for what you get. I remember at the Glendale location, for $19, you get a whole lot of food. So I would recommend going to that location over this.

    This is a solid option at the Topanga Social as the flavor was good with the hummus and garlic sauce. I wish there would have been more chicken for $20 but overall I was satisfied.

    I have to admit, I'm shocked by the 3.2 star overall rating for Mini Kabob! Perhaps they got off to a slow start at Topanga Social, but based on my visit here this past weekend, they seem to be fully up and running now. I haven't been to their original location, but I've heard they're legendary, so I was very excited to try this place. We ordered the chicken kabob and were pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality. It definitely exceeded expectations. Generous portions, flavorful food, and great service. I highly recommend checking this spot out!

    Just a taste

    The meat was so tender. Unbelievable! The staff was very friendly. The humus was perfect. Definitely worth a trip.

    Chicken thigh plate
    Stefanie S.

    The juiciest perfectly seasoned chicken thigh served atop fragrant rice with a side of creamy hummus. What could be better?!?! Seriously, a perfect lunch and I love the Topanga Social location because I can also have a glass of wine from the bar! ;)

    Glendale location serves better food in my opinion. The meat was hard to chew and not seasoned right. The sides tasted ok. Prices are high and customer service needs a lot of improvement. Overall an ok place to eat while at Topanga Social.

    The chicken thighs dish at Mini-Kabob in Topanga Social
    Carl J.

    Very high yum factor at this surprising find located inside Topanga Social, the eating area of Westfield Mall in Woodland Hills. We had the chicken thighs, which were incredibly tender, juicy and plentiful, resting on a generous bed of rice, a giant serving of hummus, some garlic butter, and a nice blistered tomato. Lavash bread on the side, onions and a charred pepper rounded out this great dish. Wifey, who really is Iranian, was very surprised at the quality - we've tried other "fast food Mediterranean" joints before and wifey says the rice is always abominable. But not this time - it was OK, "for something this quick," she said. Yep, we will surely be back - this is super convenient if you're shopping at the mall!

    The combo platter. Notice how the pita bread covers the small portions of meat! FYI this platter in real life is quite small.
    Coby C.

    I have been to the original mini kabob in Glendale and I was very disappointed with the food offered at the Topanga Social. The price of the food was fairly high: $20 for a chicken thigh platter, $20 for a beef platter and $25 for a combo platter (chicken and beef). I was expecting a lot of food for the price of the combo platter, instead I was slapped in the face with three tiny pieces of chicken and three tiny pieces of beef. Compared to the Glendale location, they heavily skimped on the food quantity. I understand they want to profit, but dang did they really try to maximize profits! I assess that the meat offered in the combo platter probably cost around $5 or less to procure. If Glendale customers came here they would say the same thing guaranteed! In regards to the quality, the taste was nice and the food was fresh. Still not as good as Glendale though. Maybe they need the Glendale regulars to come up to the Social and whip the place into proper shape. If this continues, I don't think Mini Kabob will survive in the long run in Topanga. I hope the owner takes the feedback to heart because I love the original mini kabob!

    Does the hummus contain garlic? Although most store-bought hummus does, some restaurants that freshly make authentic hummus don't use garlic.

    You should probably call the place to get a faster and accurate answer to this question.

We ordered the koobideh and chicken shish kebab, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The koobideh was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfectly seasoned, slightly charred taste you hope for from a great Persian grill. Every bite was ridiculously good! And the chicken shish kebab was just as impressive--tender, juicy, beautifully grilled, and full of incredible flavor. The chicken had that perfect combination of a delicious char on the outside while staying moist and succulent inside. Honestly, I could have eaten another plate! The combination of the smoky grilled meat, aromatic seasonings, and fresh ingredients made this meal seriously mouth-watering. The portions were generous, everything came out beautifully prepared, and you could tell the food was made with care. The service deserves a huge shout-out as well. Everyone was warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great experience. Shirin is the kind of restaurant where you finish your meal and immediately start thinking about when you can come back. The koobideh and chicken shish kebab alone are worth the trip! If you're anywhere near Woodland Hills and love Persian food, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TRY SHIRIN! Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. 10/10 -- we will definitely be back!

They have a cute little bar and the staff is very friendly. Instead of ordering at the front, you can sit at your table and the server comes to you. Also, at the end I expected that they would automatically give us the bill, but actually you have to ask for it when you're ready. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma which arrived with rice, garlic sauce, and a fresh salad. I don't know if it's because I was starving, I had been running around all day and hadn't yet eaten a meal, but I was extremely impressed with the food. The chicken was hot and flavorful, I loved the garlic sauce, and the salad was literally fresh and light tasting. Some other people trickled in and then went outside and were playing games and smoking hookah. I don't know if it's standard for the hookah to be outside or not, but I thought that was nice that they did it that way. Overall I thought the food was excellent and I will definitely stop by again!

We order and before the food comes out, he tells us even the stuff we ordered, much is unavailable. The food came and while some of the grilled pork was okay, some was burnt black and some was medium rare. Look, some people will eat that, but if you're cooking pork like that you have to ask - don't just give people pink-inside pork. Parts of my group were grossed out. I will say, the quantities are decent. But the quality is meh. Nothing special. There's nothing special here, the food came out very slow, the one guy working took a smoke break after giving us the food so we were alone for a while. Just weird and depressing.

What I recommend ordering is #19, because you get beef and chicken in your plate. The meat is very soft so you don't need a knife to cut it. The rice is seasoned perfectly with a hint of lemon to give you flavor. As for the grilled vegetables, they're on the sweet side but be careful of the jalapeños seeds as they give you a little kick. As for the salad, it was absolutely delicious. Everything I've ordered from this restaurant has been exceeding my expectations. The portions are also huge and worth the price. I'd definitely come again and bring my friends and family here!
